Step 1: Getting Started on the Loaf

2. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Prep the Oven

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F

Step 3: Prepping Onions for Filling

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute; remove from heat to cool.

Step 4: Making the Loaf

1. Stir the turkey, cooked quinoa, onions, tomato paste, hot sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, egg, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl or mixer until well combined. The mixture will be moist, don't stress over this.

2. Shape into a loaf on a parchment or foil lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Making the Glaze

1. Combine the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire, and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl.

2. Rub the glaze over the top of the meatloaf. I do this with a spoon as the loaf will be sticky.

Step 6: Baking the Loaf

1. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 50 minutes. You can cut into the center or use a meat thermometer.

2. Let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 7: Serving the Loaf.

Slice into portions and plate with any sides you see fit. I like to serve it sauteed zucchini, yellow squash, and simple spinach and cherry tomato salad.
